Coast to Coast

We arrived in St. John's right on time after a 9 1/2 hour flight. Our first stroke of luck - we got a Ford Escape instead of the compact car that we were supposed to be getting - don't really know why. Had no trouble finding our hotel even though the weather is just like Vancouver: fog, rain & wind. Luckily the humidity seems to be keeping it from being too cold. St. John's is quite a sleepy place at 10:30 pm - so it was really hard to find food. McDonald's will always do in a pinch - and the clerk at Tim Horton's told us how to get there since they only had doughnuts to offer at this hour!



The Balmoral Inn is quaint and Victorian, and the wireless is working very well, so stay tuned for lots of photos & updates over the next few days.
